-1THANKS 4 ALL THE GREAT REVIEWS AND 4 YOUR PATIENCE

Later that night, a sleepless Lory laid in bed with thoughts about Maria and the many possibilities. If he helped Maria, things might or might not work out the way she wanted them to. It wasn't just Maria being affected by his decision but his son, Ren, and Kyoko. It would be best to just watch from the sidelines; besides he would ask Maria to think about it before she got too far into the plan, whatever that may be. For now, he would try and get some sleep, he was going to need it.

A few hours later, a drained-looking Lory showed up to work in animal print pajamas and fuzzy slippers. He asked his secretary to be informed of Maria's arrival. He didn't hear from Maria all day. He felt relief that he didn't have to break the news to Maria but dread began to creep its way into him. He had to get a hold of Maria before she initiated her plan, but first, he had to change. Today's theme had been the Middle Ages and he, Lory, was the Black Knight. Now, where was he going to begin his search?

Somewhere else, a very happy Maria watched as her soon-to-be mommy finished yet another scene in the new drama. Sure, she had gotten stuck, but she had gotten out of her hole and was doing better than the rest of the actresses that were there. She could tell that they were all jealous of her mommy. Eek, she had just referred to Kyoko as her mommy, even if it was to herself. She had to be careful and make sure that it didn't slip out. She didn't want people to know about her plan until it was official.
